Fiesta Mexican Grille

Ordered two carnitas tacos.
Service was good and the turn around time fast.
But the food was so good.
Like so fresh and so delicious.

This place just opened in Sorrento Valley.

The elegant simplicity of the restaurant's name says it all, "Fiesta".
As you probably know, the art and brilliance of a great California burrito is easily lost with over-the-top ingredients and unneeded asada marinades.
Indeed, they are fickle beasts -- one ingredient wrong and the whole thing is ruined.
When you find YOUR California burrito (CB) place, you're unlikely to find another to match.
I remember my first CB joint like it was yesterday.
Sadly, the long drive has reduced my CB habit to a mere monthly affair, a cherished family excursion each third Sunday.
I had all but lost hope that I'd ever find such regular satisfaction again, but behold -- Fiesta has filled a void in me that I never fully recognized until now.
The burrito is simple-- homemade flour tortilla, lovely asada, a touch of guac, fries with the perfect level of crisp, and of course, that magical white sauce that brings everything together.
With each drop of salsa Verde, I'm taken back to the moment a friend introduced me to the angry burrito lady, a well-known veteran of the CB community, if you will.
The California Burrito at Fiesta has blown me away with their elegant take on a San Diego classic.
And once again, I am whole.
